PORTLAND, Ore. --- The University of Portland men’s basketball program has signed guard Oskars Reinfelds (6-4, 205) out of Oakley College (Spain) and Canarias Basketball Academy (CBA) to a National Letter of Intent, head coach Eric Reveno announced on Monday. Reinfelds, a native of Riga, Latvia and member of the Latvian Under-18 National Team, will graduate from Oakley College June 1 and join the Pilots for summer school. He is the third incoming freshman to sign as a member of the 2012 class.

Reinfelds was a teammate of current Pilot center Thomas van der Mars at CBA and has earned numerous accolades with the program. He was named the MVP of both the 2010 Rinus de Jong Invitational in Holland and the 2012 Campeonato de Gran Canaria in Tenerife, Spain. Earlier this year CBA travelled to the National Prep School Invitational in Rhode Island and Reinfelds was named to the all-tournament team against some of the top prep talents in the nation.

Reinfelds most recently led the CBA to the quarterfinals of the 2012 Spanish Junior National Championship and averaged a team-best 16.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in four games.

Last summer he competed with the Latvian Under-18 National Team at the 2011 European National Championships. He averaged 6.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals over eight games.

“We are excited to add Oskars to the Pilot family,” Reveno said. “Oskars has played primarily point guard for CBA, but also has the size and ability to play the on the wing. Coming from an elite development academy like CBA and receiving excellent training from Coach Rob Orellana, we expect Oskars to come in and compete right away.”

"Portland offers Oskars a tremendous opportunity and we could not be more pleased with his decision," said Rob Orellana, Director of the CBA. "Coach Reveno and his staff have proven their unparalleled commitment to player development which has always been at the core of what we believe in. Oskars shares that same passion to become his best in everything he does. We look forward to his success at such a renowned institution."

Reinfelds joins previously signed guard Bryce Pressley and forward Jake Ehlers as members of the 2012 incoming freshman class.
